बरषा गत निर्मल रितु आई । सुधि न तात सीता के पाई ॥
एक बार कैसेहुँ सुधि जानउँ । कालहु जीति निमिष महँ आनौं ॥
baraṣā gata nirmala ritu āī | sudhi na tāta sītā ke pāī ||
eka bāra kaisehum̐ sudhi jānaum̐ | kālahu jīti nimiṣa maham̐ ānauṃ ||

What happens in this chapter
Rama's displeasure at Sugriva's delay
The rains are over and the clear season has come, says Rama, yet there is no news of Sita. If only I could learn once where she is, I would bring her back in a moment, conquering even Death. Sugriva too has forgotten Me, now that he has kingdom, treasury, city and wife. With the arrow that killed Bali I shall kill that fool tomorrow. Shiva tells Uma: can He, by whose grace pride and delusion fall away, be angry even in a dream? Lakshmana sees the Lord's anger, strings his bow and takes up arrows. Then Raghupati, the limit of compassion, calms him: brother, bring our friend Sugriva here by showing him some fear.
कतहुँ रहउ जौँ जीवति होई । तात जतन करि आनेउँ सोई ॥
सुग्रीवहुँ सुधि मोरि बिसारी । पावा राज-कोस-पुर-नारी ॥
katahum̐ rahau jaum̐ jīvati hoī | tāta jatana kari āneum̐ soī ||
sugrīvahum̐ sudhi mori bisārī | pāvā rāja-kosa-pura-nārī ||
जेहिं सायक मारा मैं बाली । तेहिं सर हतौं मूढ़ कहँ काली ॥
जासु कृपाँ छूटहि मद-मोहा । ता कह उमा कि सपनेहुँ कोहा ॥
jehiṃ sāyaka mārā maiṃ bālī | tehiṃ sara hatauṃ mūr̤ha kaham̐ kālī ||
jāsu kṛpām̐ chūṭahi mada-mohā | tā kaha umā ki sapanehum̐ kohā ||
जानहिँ यह चरित्र मुनि ज्ञानी । जिन्ह रघुबीर चरन रति मानी ॥
लछिमन क्रोधवन्त प्रभु जाना । धनुष चढाइ गहे कर बाना ॥
jānahim̐ yaha caritra muni jñānī | jinha raghubīra carana rati mānī ||
lachimana krodhavanta prabhu jānā | dhanuṣa caḍhāi gahe kara bānā ||
तब अनुजहि समुझावा, रघुपति करुना सीँव ।
भय देखाइ लेइ आवहु, तात सखा सुग्रीव ॥
taba anujahi samujhāvā, raghupati karunā sīm̐va |
bhaya dekhāi lei āvahu, tāta sakhā sugrīva ||
